Silence, for now, from Al Gore.

Silence, For Now, From Al Gore
28 Jan 2008 04:42 pm

With Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's endorsement of Barack Obama, the list of star-aligning endorsements shrinks to about two: former Sen. John Edwards, if he decides to drop out, and, of course, former Vice President Al Gore.

At this point, he has not told any of his political advisers and friends if he is considering an endorsement. During the past year, he has spoken privately with all three leading Democrats.

An adviser said that Mr. Gore had long ago decided to lay low once the Democratic delegate selection contests began so as not to interfere in the race.

Last night, a close adviser said "nothing has changed" with regard to Mr. Gore's decision to keep mum about an endorsement.

1. I respect him so much

If he endorsed a candidate, I would have to vote for that person. If in his heart he feels
someone would do the best job for the country, he should endorse that person, for the good of the
country. A lot of people have a new found deep respect for Vice President Gore and his
opinion matters. There are things comparable in importance to global warming and the next President
of the United States will be very important to the entire World.

2. If Gore were to endorse a candidate besides my own, I would have to strongly consider

switching.
